@oma.london has been on my hitlist for a while but was even better (and not as expensive) as I expected. Here are 3 of the 6 dishes we ordered (minor peeve - why ‘’suggest’ we needed 8-10) which were all excellent. Sea bass crudo, datterini tomatoes and spanakopita gratin with malawach (a Yemenite flatbread). Really imaginative delicious food. Convenient central location overlooking Borough Market too. . . . #crudo #tomato #spanakopita #flatbread #omalondonA fabulously retro chicken dish from a Katie Stewart cookbook my old uni friend @judithmjohn made for me last weekend which I tweaked, substituting grapes for olives.Recipe coming! (The plate is Crown Devon by Fieldings) . . . #chickensalad #plate #retro #summerfood #homecookingForgive the apparent frivolity of posting pictures of flowers in these dark times but these beautiful wild flower beds @rhsharlowcarr this week were so restoring . We need to be angry but we also need to let our minds and brains rest from time to time in order to be effective. . . . #wildflowers #flowers #meadow #harlowcarr #harrogateIf you’ve held back so far from expressing your outrage about what is happening in Gaza out of cynicism and despair about our government’s inaction and refusal to recognise the Palestinian state now is the time to join the many voices who are calling for an end to this genocide - for that is what it is.. Lobby your MP. Call @keirstarmer @angelaraynermp and @david.lammy to account. We cannot - should not - stand by and let this go on. Image via @sami_tamimi Follow on Instagram
